PMS & PMDD By Joseph Collins, RN, ND

 

Menopause Type® Questionnaire

Protocols for Premenstrual Syndrome & Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder

 

Research has revealed that in most cases, PMS and PMDD appears to be caused by an inadequate production and function of allopregnanolone (a metabolite of progesterone). (1, 2, 3) Contributory endocrine dysfunctions include androgen excess disorders, and in some cases hypothyroidism. Dysglycemias such as low blood sugar have been ruled out as causative to PMS/PMDD but should be ruled out if those symptoms persist throughout the cycle.

Foundational Interventions:

 

Foundational interventions include lifestyle and dietary choices that support optimal hormone function. In addition, a high grade multiple vitamin mineral formulation rich in antioxidants and essential fatty acids rich in docosahexaenoic acid are required for optimal hormone function.

Ultra Preventive® X V-Cap - A high grade multiple vitamin and mineral supplement with significant antioxidant support. Vitamins and minerals are cofactors required for every biochemical process in the human body, including the production of allopregnanolone and other hormones.

 

Opti DHA - An essential fatty acid rich in docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), with a high DHA:EPA ratio. The essential fatty acid DHA help maintain ideal cell membrane fluidity allowing optimal transport of molecules such as allopregnanolone across cell membranes.

 

Endocrine Dysfunction Interventions:

 

Primary Endocrine Nutraceutical formulations should be used to support the function of hormone producing glands and hormone responsive tissues. The primary formulations that are appropriate to manage hormonal imbalances observed in PMS/PMDD include:

 

Progesto-Mend is a unique blend of phytoprogesterones, adaptogens and other herbs to naturally support hormonal balance by supporting the ideal production of allopregnanolone and progesterone.

Significant clinical success has been achieved when women experiencing PMS/PMDD take Progesto-Mend regularly. It is important to note that although progesterone levels are higher in the luteal phase, the female body continues to produce progesterone during the follicular phase. Women who take progestogoldevery day of the month have reported an end to menstrual cramping & pain, and an end to severe mood disorders that have affected them their entire lives. Progesto-Mend does not contain progesterone, pregnenolone, allopregnanolone or any other added hormones – but increases endogenous production of these hormones.

Contributory Endocrine Dysfunction Interventions:

 

Androgen excess is the most frequently occurring contributory endocrine dysfunction in PMS/PMDD.

 

Testo-Quench a synergistic formulation of phytoantiandrogens designed to restore healthy hormone balance by calming and supporting the ideal function of testosterone sensitive tissues as needed in Menopause Type® Nine.

More Information on Testo-Quench

 

Since decreased thyroid function can adversely affect the function of other hormones, a nutraceutical formulation to support the function of the thyroid gland and the liver (which converts T4 to T3) and also supports the function and response of tissues that respond to thyroid hormones should be used if there are signs and symptoms of decreased thyroid function.

 

 

Thyro-Mend is a synergistic combination of iodine containing seaweeds, and herbs which contain phytothyroidogenic, phyto-thyroid-receptor agonists, and other herbs designed to promote optimal function of thyroid hormones by maintaining the health of thyroid hormone producing tissues and by supporting the healthy function of tissues that respond to thyroid hormones. More information on Thyro-Mend

 

As noted, there may be decreased blood glucose function in Menopause Type® Seven due to the primary hormone imbalances. Excessive body weight also increases the risk for decreased blood glucose function. A nutraceutical formulation to support healthy blood glucose function should be used if there are signs and symptoms of decreased blood sugar function

 

 

Glucobrium is a synergistic formulation of phytotherapeutic extracts which mimic and potentiate the actions of insulin and support healthy blood glucose function. More information on Glucobrium
